The Chevrolet Corvette C6 is produced
since 2005. It is available as a coupe or convertible.

This car comes with a
6.0-liter V8 engine, which develops 405 hp and will get you from 0
to 100 km/h (60 mph) in just 4.5 seconds. If it seems to slow for
you, go for a Corvette Z06, powered by a 7.0-liter unit developing
over 500 horsepower. Acceleration is rapid at any speed in five or
six-speed gearboxes, while the sixth gear is used for cruising only.
It is worth mentioning that the gearbox needs a hefty shove to kick
the gear in.

The new Corvette is not
only a straightline dragster, it also corners well. This car has
plenty of grip and keeps the road well. However riding over bumps
and lumps becomes awkward. Steering is sharp and accurate, but could
give more feedback to the driver.

With the roof panel in
place road noise protrudes to the cabin, but the wind noise is well
contained. With the roof panel off and wind noise becomes an issue
at the motorway speed, however calmness returns as the speed goes
down. Exhaust note is present all the time, but it is a kind of
sound you will like to hear.

The Chevrolet Corvette is
a bit of a bargain, considering it's price and performance. The real
expenses come at the petrol station as the claimed manufacturers
fuel consumption is quiet hard to hit. Servicing is also pricey.
Currently the Chevrolet Corvette sells well, so residual values
should be strong. Another good thing about this car is that it's
fairy simple and some of mechanics is already proven.

Inside the car some of
the plastics on the center console and central tunnel feel less than
sturdy though. The dashboard is simple and clear, while the head-up
display is brilliant, but comes with an expensive option pack.
Unfortunately storage space inside the cabin is on the sparse side.

Drivers seat is
electrically adjustable. Leather-bounded steering wheel adjusts for
height and reach as well, so it shouldn't be a problem to find a
comfortable driving position.

There is plenty of space
for the driver and passenger inside the Chevrolet Corvette. The boot
space is fantastic. Even if you will keep it to store the roof
panels you will still manage to get in all your luggage.

From the safety list
there are four airbags, traction control and stability control on
every Corvette as standard. Alarm and immobilizer are also standard,
but deadlocks are not available even as an option.

All cars come with
keyless entry and push-button starting. Leather upholstery, climate
control and large alloys come as standard. However other optional
equipment, such as the satellite navigation might be pricey.

Production of the
Chevrolet Corvette C6 still continues.

Advantages: The
Chevrolet Corvette has a lightning performance. Furthermore it has a
very good value for money.
